Exceptional performance for writing, taking notes, drawing, sketching, response time and battery life. Excellent for reworking photos and doing graphic arts, and when using it as a touch control it is very precise while using the tip. You can even highlight the texts, lines, paragraphs while reading.
It does come with a spare tip that can be replaced and lightning adapter, which is great! Overall, this is an great pencil. I bought this as "open box - excellent condition" and using my reward certificate got it for $72 - which, I believe, is a great price.

Bought this as a gift for my dad. He just bought the iPad Pro 12.9 a few months ago and insisted he didn't need the pen. After using this for a few minutes he is in love with it and what put it down!

Works great so far. Love it better than a mouse and it can be used for so many different applications. Wish Microsoft had something as good.

For some one who takes lots of notes and likes to draw this is a perfect iPad companion. It linked right up with my iPad the second I placed it in the lightning port and hasn’t had an issue.

Works great. Make sure you research which pencil works with which specific iPad you have. Other than that, all good.

Use it for note taking and it handles it. Will get the second generation whenever I upgrade the IPad Pro 2... it will be a while though... the device works really well.

Battery dies fast but perfect companion for iPad

At first I noticed the battery dies fast because it’s always connected but honestly I couldn’t imagine using the iPad without the pencil. As a stylus, as a note pad, it comes in handy. Plus I found a great case online that holsters the pencil conveniently next to the iPad.

Despite the high price tag the ability to rest your hand on the screen, the weight and beautiful lines is worth it. otherwise would buy several cheaper ones to get the same benefit.

From Wacom Intous to I Pencil

I tried the iPencil at the Apple store, and was hooked. It has the weight and feel of a real pencil with the sensitivity of a stylus. As a wacom user I loved the sensitivity and response I get from my stylus while working on projects, it was awesome that Apple developed an accessory that gave me that and more. The tip is soft enough that it has enough "drag" that it doesn't feel slippery on the tablet surface. It responds well to tilt, pressure, and can be customized. The only downside is that the cap that removes to charge it and the special adapter are both things that can get lost easily. It would be nice if Apple developed a clip that allows you to remove the cap without it being loose.
